It takes two, the publisher to offer the deal and buyers to take the deal.
I don’t mean to insult anyone who really values being there day one, but for me I just don’t care about early access at all. Playing a game a few days early is so unimportant to me I would never even consider paying extra for it.
Sometimes I’m really excited about a game.
That doesn’t make me a gullible sucker. I mean, in theory, anyway.
I have a few early access games in my library, but they have been “early access” for 5 years now. IMO that doesn’t count as “early” anymore. I’ve never bought a game within the first year of release, much less 5 days before release. But if people are willing to do that, hey, it’s their choice to get disappointed 🤷

Just because they’re normalised, it doesn’t mean they’ve won. There are still plenty of us out there who refuse to pay full price for a game, let alone do something as stupid as pre-order
They won that too, because people wait for sales they never have to reduce their prices
Tough luck if you miss the sale
Then there’s always the other means.
Is that why some games in my isthereanydeal list still are 30 € after years?
